You already know that the world’s richest man has got seven children. Don’t you? Yes brethren! Musk has seven kids.
Join our WhatsApp ChannelThe world’s richest man shares twins – Griffin and Xavier, 18; triplets – Kai, Saxon and Damian, 16, with his ex-wife Justine. Musk and ex-girlfriend, Grimes, also have a son, X AE A-XII (Ha! What’s this? Sorry for the plate number, haha! But that’s his name), who turned two on May 4, and a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl who was born in December 2021.
If there is one weird thing to note about Musk, it is that he has never been one to stick to traditions just for the sake of it.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder has always had a knack for putting his own personal flair on whatever he does. Love him or hate him, no one can deny that the man is certainly unique in how he approaches life.
His unorthodoxy also applies to his parenting style.
Let’s take a look:
- Quoting his ex-girlfriend, Grimes: “I mean, I think E (Elon) is really seeing him as a protégé and bringing him to everything and stuff.… X is out there. His situation is like that.” Honestly, While Musk has always kept his older kids out of the spotlight, we have seen snippets of X in recent years. Does this say anything? Of course, Elon Musk’s kids are expected to be his protégés.
- Musk has got this haram for the conventional education. During a live interview on an audio app called, Clubhouse last year, Musk said that he believes his children have learned more from the internet than they have anywhere else. “Well, my observation is that my kids were mostly educated by YouTube and Reddit,” Musk said. You see? Elon Musk believes in allowing his kids to be educated by the internet and not the regular education system.
- Musk’s childhood love for video games helped him develop his passion for programming, which has served him so well in his career. Naturally, Musk’s own kids followed suit as avid video game players. While Musk generally supports his children delving into the hobbies that he loves, he has one very strict rule regarding playing time: The Musk kids are required to read more often than they play video games.
- It may be easy to forget given his status now, but Musk faced plenty of challenges in his childhood and early adulthood. He moved from his home country of South Africa to Canada at the age of 17 without any parental support. He also experienced bullying at school up until he was 15. While these hardships were difficult at the time, Musk believes they helped to form him into the success he is today. He now swears that his kids must toe this same path. Yes indeed! Elon Musk thinks his kids need to face hardship in order to become successful.
- Musk seems to encourage healthy eating as well as healthy minds in his household. A babysitter who once cared for his triplets while they were spending time with a friend revealed in a TikTok video that the boys were very health conscious. “We all went to dinner at Whole Foods. These kids were very health-conscious at such a young age. I was expecting a Johnny Rockets or something, but they were like, “No, let’s go to Whole Foods.” She also described them as “well-behaved” so it seems manner is also an important practice in the Musk house.
